Today's topic of conversation got me thinking of either sports stars or simply famous people who didn't quite live up to their parent's own fame
For example -
Football - Paul Ince - Tom Ince
Music - John Lennon - Julian Lennon
Anymore ?

Johan Cruyff and Jordi. Jordi was a good footballer, who had a decent career, but Johan was simply different gravy in comparison. |  |

Quite a lot of footballers, I think? Johann and Jordi Cruyff, Zinedine and Luca Zidane.
Zidane's kid plays in goal for my favourite Spanish team and is actually pretty decent, if a little short for a keeper. |  |

Justin's quite highly rated, I think? Unlikely to hit Patrick's heights though I imagine!
Liam Delap and Rory Delap seems likely to go the other way. | |

Ian Botham vs Liam Botham
On the other side of the coin, compare Stuart Broad with his dad (who wasnt too bad either) |  | | |

Bit harsh on Harry Wright. He's still young. |  |

He’s not really - he’ll be 23 in November, which is the same age as Richard was when he left us for Arsenal | |

maybe, goalies mature later, but as the other poster stated there's a marked difference between their progress so far! | |

Ian Wright - Shaun Wright Phillips
Whatever happened to him?
Lol, just checked, he's playing for Phoenix Rising FC!
EDIT: And I know he's not 'technically' offspring, as he was adopted. [Post edited 11 Jun 2021 17:41]

He's a keeper. He could still have a better career. Looks unlikely but writing a keeper off at 23? | |

Isaac Drogba is name that pops out of that list that maybe we might have a link to via our owners.... not sure if he's any good but if he's half the player his dad was should be plenty good enough for League 1 |  | | |

The vast majority won’t. In the same way that the even vaster majority of famous footballers are much more famous than their dads.
Players like Frank Lampard who are better than their own famous father, Frank Lampard Sr, will be rarer than hen’s b@ll@cks. |  |

not writing him off, merely saying he's not as famous as his father at the mo, as per the op | |

No but he has another 12+ years in the game, potentially.
Got to compare apples with apples. | |
